Saving Grace

I've never been so happy that a week was over.
I cut up my hand, broke my rice cooker, and separated from my relationship.
Not to mention still recovering from being sick, catching up on a weeks worth of work and this rain and fog doesnt help. My room is a mess, the food in the fridge is spoiling and the dishes are piling up. I want to scratch the stitches off my hand. I'm lacking motivation, hemorrhaging money, and the VPN is so slow now that I cant even watch a movie. My diet has been reduced to boiled eggs and ramen and left over chicken nuggets. And maybe I could let myself cry a little, but even that doesnt make any sense. The year has beaten me up, and we're only 16 days in. To top it off..its not just me, I share my troubles with others, but maybe they wont have a scar to remind them.

I guess i have my saving graces, bits of light cutting through the dreary fog. My work gives me reason and great friends here bring me company and comfort along with dinner and dessert at times. The prospect of travel and promise of exotic land give me hope. And continuing to grow and learn bring me peace. Even though I have already found someone who completes me, I relish meeting new people and reminiscing with old friends. As something ends, many things also begin.

My saving grace is the unknown again. My penance is my solitude.

haha..whatever happened to the LEGO stuff on this blog?
LEGO World Copenhagen in February. Building for that along with work should keep me busy. Looking to build fun, interactive things for the kiddies and well, just to show off a little.
I hope my friends at NYBA are doing well. Flickr is showing them well.
Built the LEGO Architecture Rockefeller Center. Its great to build on that scale and even better to point out my favorite spots on it. It was a good building experience and a nice remembrance of home.
